Scott Coker: Logan Paul ‘absolutely’ welcome to fight in the Bellator cage

If Logan Paul wants to transition to mixed martial arts one day, he’s got a standing invitation to compete in Bellator MMA.

On Sunday night, the YouTube superstar turned boxing hopeful spent eight rounds in the ring with Floyd Mayweather in a special boxing exhibition bout that aired on Showtime pay-per-view. While Paul has now engaged in three boxing matches between amateur, pro and now this exhibition, he actually comes from a wrestling background where he was a fifth place finisher during his senior year in high school in Ohio.

In fact, Paul displayed some of those grappling skills in order to slow down Mayweather in their boxing match as he consistently clinched throughout the fight while also leaning on his smaller opponent to use his height and weight advantage.
